Evening Journal special from Char

morning Eli Parker. an old and
highly respected farmer, whose farm
is located just outside the city
limits. started to lead vicious bull
TO water, so that just what passed
cannot be positively known, but in
some way tho bull became excited
and attacked the old gentleman. He
was evidently knocked down, gored
horribly and badly pounded by the
Wild animals hoofs. Besides being
greatly bruised, his body was torn
horribly BY the vicious brutes horns,
the flesh hanging in shreds. The first
knowledge the family had OF the
terrible calamity was communicated
by q son OF Mr.. Parker, who found
the enraged bull stending over and
viciously paving the dead body. He
was obliged to call assistance, and
even then il was with great difficulty
that the bull was made TO give up
possession Of the mangled remains.
The animal has since been shot.

A Good Word for the Mosq uito.


A brainy scientist, whose great
name has evaded our memory, but
who has Jumps on his forehead like q
summer squash, has demonstrated be-
yond the peradventure of doubt that
mosquitoes are healthy.
When the mosquito samples the life
of human being, he, the mosquito, i:
actuated by the purest and noblesi
motives. Nature has not only sup
piled the insect with kind heart, but
also with an aDtidote for malaria
When he stings he simultaneously
imparts to the sufferer dose of quin.
inc, or something which answers the
purpose just as well. Such is the
theory of our scientist, and we believe
il is correct.
The mosquito is never found soar
ing about the mountains where the
air is pure and fresh, but is Away,
down in marshy and malarious places
where stalks the CHASTITY chill, the
dumb yet eloquent ague, indolent liv.
er, and torpid spleens. Nature has
located the mosquito where he is most
needed, and where he can do the most
good with his little hypodermic injec,
ton of quinine.
When some rich, fat lady is driven
about town, with her malarious liver
she paws the ever-laden atmosphere
and blasphemes about the humble
mosquito, never dreaming that the in
sect that is tapping the back of hei
neck is hard at work saving her life
but such is the case, nevertheless

Greecian Mythology.

The ideas which the Greek mythol-
ogy contains of the origin of the world
are very remarkable, and their SYM
bolizations very suggestive. Uranos
(heaven) and G;ea (earth) arose out
of chaos, and their children were the
wild and unruly powers of nature,
the Titans. One of the Titans (time)
who eats his own children, slew his
father and ruled the world for time.
But Uranos had cursed his sons, and
the curse was fulfilled. Zeus, son
of Cronas, rose against his father, and
after a horrible contest which con-
vulsed the whole world, he confined
him and other Titans in Tartaroes
and raised his throne in Olympus, in
the light region above the sky. Much
weaker are the ideas of the
Greek mythology concerning that

though in course of time they became
very elaborate. To the dying man
Hermes came and led him to hades,

would rather be swineheard OH
earth than the King of Hades. Lat
ter, the poets and philosophers tried
to bring some life into this dead mo-
notonous, shadowy region. When the
deceased had paid his oblos, a small
coin which his children or friends had
placed in his mouth, Charon would
ferry him over the Styx. He then
had to pass by Cerberus in order tc
gain the large plain where Minos sal

the judgement read, he then turned
